Using our example website, our starting point is in the Edit Facility (the documentation
for getting to this point can be found on the 'How to
edit your website text' page - steps 1-3).

In this particular tutorial we're going to upload a new media file, which, in
this example, will be an MP3 (music) file*. Once we've uploaded this file,
we'll add a suitable media player to the home page to allow our website
visitors to play the music file. We'll add the media player between the
third and last paragraph of our home page, so click anywhere in the third
paragraph to edit it, as follows.

Step 1: click on the 'File Manager' button

Clicking the 'File Manager' button launches the 'File
Manager' window. In this window you will see a thumbnail of all the files
that you've uploaded to Jomatu. As this tutorial follows on from the
'How to upload a document file' tutorial, we can
see our previously uploaded image in this list. To upload our new media
file, click on the 'Upload New File' link.

Step 2: click on the 'Upload New File' link

Clicking the 'Upload New File' link launches the 'Upload New File' window.
The first section here offers five options which are solely concerned with
web images and is covered in the 'How to upload an image
file' tutorial. As we're uploading a media file, this section does not apply.

Step 3: click on the 'Browse' button to locate our document file

When you click the 'Browse' button, a pop-up window appears showing
the storage devices, folders and files on your own computer. Use this window
to locate your file‡.

Step 4: locate your upload file and select it

When you locate your file, either double-click the file, or single click (to highlight
it) and click the 'Open' button. Note: this button name may be different on your
computer‡. The pop-up window will disappear and you will see your file name
(usually with the path to that file) appear in the 'File to upload' form field.

Step 5: click the 'Upload' button to upload the file to your website

Depending on your file size and internet connection speed, file uploading
may take several minutes to complete. During file uploading you'll see the
following message:

When file uploading has completed, you'll be automatically returned to the main File Manager window. Here you can see your uploaded image file,
represented as a thumbnail, in the list.

Note: In this window you can open the document
by clicking on the thumbnail.

If you want to delete an uploaded file, simply click the small white cross in the red circle (you will be
asked to confirm the delete). Note: this will not remove
any references to the file from within your web pages, so you'll need to
remove those, preferably before deleting the file.

Step 6: add the media player to our web page

To play our music file, we need to add a media player. We want to add it after
the paragraph of text, so click to put the cursor at the end of the paragraph,
then press the 'Enter/Return' key to add a new (empty) paragraph, then click the
'Insert/Edit Media' button which is located on the third line of icons (hover your
mouse pointer over the icons to get the descriptive tool-tip) as follows.

Step 7: select our media file

There are three tabs in this window: 'General', 'Advanced' and 'Source'.
In the 'General' tab we select our uploaded media file from the 'File/URL'
pull-down menu. When we select our file from this list, the 'Type'
field is automatically set.

Click the 'Insert' button at the bottom of the pop-up window to insert the new link
and close the pop-up window.

Step 8: tick the 'Controls' box

Under the 'Advanced' tab we tick the 'Controls' box. This is important for two
reasons: (1) so that we can actually see the media player on the web page, and (2)
so that we can control our playback of the sound file, using play, pause, stop and
volume mute and level controls.

Click the 'Insert' button at the bottom of the pop-up window to insert the new media player
and close the pop-up window.

Step 9: Click the 'Publish' button to make our changes live on the website

Finally, we want to save or publish our changes. If you have other changes you wish to make,
then click the 'Save' button and continue editing. If you changes are complete for this web page,
then, to put those change live on the website, click the 'Publish' button.

With all our changes published, we click the 'Exit' button to return to Jomatu.

† Our website visitor's computer will usually launch an appropriate application
that will play the MP3 file.

your files will be dependent on your particular system. The example shown was generated on a
